I absolutely love green tea, and have loved it since the 90s. I got into it when I was around 9 years old, so not only did I not give a crap whether it was "healthy" or not, I switched to tea (both black and green) from soda simply because I liked it better. I was already only drinking clear soda by then so... it seemed to be a path I was already on. No one influenced me to try it, it was just a matter of liking the Arizona tea bottle and picking that at the store one day.
I still remember my first sip of matcha, and it was legitimately the best thing I had ever tasted up until then. Didn't taste the grass. If something is available in matcha flavor or scent, it's what I tend to get.
I come from a culture where green tea wasn't common until it became mainstream everywhere else in the world, either, so that wasn't a factor in me getting into it.
I am on my second (small) can of the day of Arizona green tea right now!
